The model 1000 was introduced by DKW in 1957. It was a medium-sized car that was characterized by its 981cc inline 3 two-stroke engine, its aerodynamic design and front wheel drive. Always with a 4-speed manual transmission, this car had different variants that included the 1000 S, 1000 SP and 1000 Universal. The DKW 1000, produced until 1963, was one of the last DKW cars before Auto Union's transformation into Audi. Today it is a classic highly appreciated by collectors.
